Google Chrome opens fine when I've just started it. If I close it accidentally or forgot something and have to reopen it after I close it, it will not open. It's almost as if it isn't closing properly but when I check task manager it does not show it running. I have to wait 20 - 30 min. to open it again. I've reinstalled and it still does this. I've tried to find tech support for a free product on Google Chrome sites, but they only support free the products you purchase. This is my favorite browser, can anyone help?

I don't use Chrome but I guess there's still a process linked with Chrome which is closing.

When it happens again, open task manager, click on more details and click on each process with an arrow on the right (click on the arrow). One or more chrome processes can be hidden there.

Anyway the solution might be to delete the temporary files, they might have added up and contribute to this slowdown.
Make sure Chrome is closed then Press the Start Button + R. Then type %appdata%.
Browse though these folders : Local / Google / Chrome / User Data
If there are any files with the .tmp extension, feel free to delete them.
Enter the Default folder.
Delete any .tmp file again.

Yes,,, I clicked details on Task Manager and Google was running! I clicked to stop it and it opens. But why is it hanging up? Doesn't CCleaner remove temp files? I use that.

In Task Manager Google Chrome 32 is hanging up. I unchecked in settings for it to stop running in background... but it still hangs up. I can get no help at all from Google. Darn them for having the best browser without any support.

Some one on the Google Chrome forum told me to go the settings, then advanced settings, and remove the check next to Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed

I did this and it worked for a while, but it's still is refusing to close sometimes. I just wish Google had so tech help.

Yeh, how silly of me. I guess if you buy some
thing you can get help but not on the free stuff. There is a forum and that's all.

Have you tried Opera? It isn't bad.

I like Chrome best too which is why I am trying to fix it. But I do Control/Alt/Del and I close it manually and I can use it. So I go to that trouble which is worth it. I use Chrome mostly for games as it works best for them.

I use IE, the newest version is very good and it also has safe surfing features. Version 11.0.9600.16476

When I played Farmville with Opera I could not receive any gifts, the button to receive them was not there. Very strange. Other than that it was good for games.

I use Firefox for Facebook. I don't do much other than scroll the feeds and do a few "likes". I have two FB accounts. One for my friends and family and one for my gaming friends. If I use FF for one and Chrome for the other I can stay logged in on both and don't need to constantly log in and out.

I know, I know TMI
